What does Avast AntiTrack Premium do?

Avast AntiTrack Premium hides your online identity by injecting false information into your browser fingerprint, so trackers and advertisers cannot build an accurate profile of you. It continuously alerts you when a site tries to track you and shows which companies are involved. On Windows it can also block the tracking components built into the operating system, and it clears tracking cookies and browsing history on a schedule. It is a privacy tool only, so it does not scan for malware or encrypt your connection the way a VPN does.

Does Avast AntiTrack Premium include a VPN or antivirus?

No. Avast AntiTrack Premium is strictly an anti-tracking and anti-fingerprinting tool; it does not include a VPN, does not encrypt your traffic, and does not hide your IP address. It also provides no malware scanning, so it cannot replace antivirus software. Its role is to stop browser- and OS-level tracking and disguise your digital fingerprint, which a VPN or antivirus on its own will not do. If you need encryption or virus protection, you would run AntiTrack alongside a separate VPN and security product.

Which browsers and platforms does Avast AntiTrack Premium support?

Avast AntiTrack runs on Windows and macOS, and its browser extension works with Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Opera, and Safari. The extension installs automatically on most browsers, but on Google Chrome you must add it manually before tracking can be blocked. The feature that blocks tracking built into the operating system is available on Windows only and is not part of the Mac version. There is no current mobile app, as the Android version was removed from the Google Play Store, so AntiTrack is now a desktop privacy tool.

What makes Avast AntiTrack Premium useful in daily browsing?

Avast AntiTrack is most useful when you want targeted advertising and price profiling to stop following you between sites without losing access to the pages you need. Unlike ad-blockers, it disguises your fingerprint instead of blocking content, so news sites, shops, and login pages that rely on advertising keep working normally. Its scheduled cookie and history cleanup is practical on shared or family computers, since it wipes local browsing traces automatically once the browser is closed. The tracking alerts also let you see exactly which sites and ad networks tried to identify you during a session.

What should users check before choosing Avast AntiTrack Premium?

Before buying, confirm that you actually want anti-tracking rather than encryption or malware protection, because AntiTrack provides neither. Check your platform: the Windows build blocks operating-system-level tracking, while the Mac build covers browser tracking only, and there is no supported mobile app. It also installs as a standalone application that runs independently of Avast Premium Security, so an existing Avast antivirus will not activate it. Finally, expect to still see ads, since AntiTrack stops them from being personalized to you but does not remove advertising from websites.

Why does Avast AntiTrack need a browser extension in each browser?

The browser extension is what lets AntiTrack actually block tracking inside a given browser. According to Avast, if the extension is disabled, AntiTrack can still detect tracking attempts in that browser but is unable to block them. For full protection you should keep the extension enabled in every browser you use, and on Chrome you need to add it manually after installation.
